Changing a company culture can be a tricky business.
For Marco Ferroni and his team at Lainox recognizing the positive effect of people power is essential for success, reports Andrea Tolu
Exclusive benefits with the new version 10.06 of Naboo Reloaded, and it doesn't cost a thing!!
After launching the reloaded version of Naboo at the international Host fair last October, our developers have been hard at work making constant improvements to offer even more new services for our customers.
The version 10.06 of Naboo Reloaded is now ready with lots of new and useful features.
Lainox is studying the role of technological innovation in the kitchen by listening to a wide variety of opinions. One of the opinions that had the greatest impact on us, and which we feel reflects us as a company is shown below...
Baking tray specific to poultry cooking in general. In die-cast aluminium alloy with non-stick silicone coating.
The special cones where the products are inserted generate convective heat transfer, speeding up the rate of heat exchange during cooking.
Thanks to this innovative system, the product is cooked both on the outside and inside in rapid time.
On April 19, 2017 Lainox launched its very own web TV dedicated especially to Lainox customers.
In order to access the full potential of your Naboo, Lainox has developed a series of accessories that allows it to be used for a range of new applications.
It's no longer necessary for technicians to leaf through thousands of documents to find the correct exploded view and technical specifications to use to repair a stove.
Compact by Naboo
The new Lainox website is finally online! It was designed to make it easy for anyone to find information.
While researching product information, the customer can easily sign up on the website for the Lainox Cooking Day to go see and try the new Naboo and find the closest service centre.
Lainox also kept kitchen designers in mind. In fact, the new website contains a section called "Info Planner" just for them. It will be easy to download technical specifications and product DWG in 2D and 3D.
The site has a session reserved for the Lainox Service Centre where technicians can access the dedicated area and consult or download all the technical documentation: exploded drawings, wiring diagrams, technical manuals, installation manuals, etc.
Those who want to find users who already use and are satisfied with Lainox technology, can consult the section "Lainox users" where they will find satisfied Lainox customers throughout the world.
At Sigep, Lainox presented a new device, especially made for pastry chefs and bakers. Aroma by Naboo.
Our interviewer asked Marco Ferroni, Executive Director for Lainox, for his first impressions.
It was truly a big surprise to see so many pastry chefs and bakers fascinated with the technology in Aroma by Naboo.
For its launch at Host, we had no doubts about the Naboo technology being well-received by food and catering professionals. At Sigep, on the other hand, we were prepared for a more sceptical reaction from pastry chefs and bakers who are tied to more traditional products. We were pleasantly surprised by Aroma by Naboo's enormous success.
Professional pastry chefs especially appreciated the extreme ease of use of the Aroma by Naboo. With its one touch technology, extremely complex cooking programs can be set with a simple touch of a button. This includes humidification during cooking, dehumidification of the chamber and fan rotation decrease.
The Lainox Cloud system was also appreciated by many due to its ability to inspire and guide pastry chefs in their daily activities. In fact, with the Cloud, they can consult recipes, get information on their history and use, follow the preparation step by step and get advice on aromatic cooking and display methods.
Aroma by Naboo's task is to create the perfect synchrony between the recipe and cooking to always ensure an excellent final result.
Aroma by Naboo takes up an average of 50% less space and guarantees 60% energy savings compared to traditional rotary or static ovens, thus allowing payback in less than 12 months.
Due to the incredible features found in Aroma by Naboo, our visitors were able to touch the new device, test its results and experience a truly emotional event.
The promise we made at Sigep is to continue to inspire our customers by always publishing new recipes arranged by theme, season and geographical area. This content is free and does not require any type of subscription.
Lainox presents its first oven 2.0. An appliance full of content to make the job of chef faster and easier, always with impeccable results.
Thanks to Lainox, every chef has a personal assistant: Naboo, the new generation of ovens that combine technology 2.0 and traditional know-how.
Presented at Host 2013, Naboo is always connected to the Lainox cloud by wi-fi: a gastronomic community that is just a click away to share suggestions and recipes with other chefs worldwide.
"Our ambiton is to create a new standard in combination ovens", explains Marco Ferroni Managing Director / General Manager of Lainox. "Up until now, these appliances / products have been steel boxes / cases with some technology. Now they have become full-bown devices that share information and knowledge with an international community of chefs. This is kitchen 2.0, an incredible way to keep up-to-date, find new sources of inspiration and more time to dedicate to your clients. Using recipes in the Cloud assures the maximum reliability and quality without limiting the creativity of the chef. It is also a great help in optimizing work in the kitchen when there are large numbers of meals to prepare."
Unique Functions
Even though the Cloud has put Naboo head and shoulders above traditional combination ovens, there are are series new features that make it a "must" for chefs who want to offer something new to their clients. The innovative Smokegrill assures grill cooking with all the advantages of a barbecue: favour, taste, smell, without the problems of smoke, soot and managing wood.
The smoking system means that this finish can be added the end of the cook time without any kind of combustion. The system for flavouring means that dishes can have a wide range of aromas added without manual labour.
Multi-level cooking is an incredible ally that reduces preparation times by up to 30%. With Naboo this cooking system is even easier, because the Cloud has various files for multi-level cooking. The function Just in Time indicates the correct times to insert different foods so that they are all ready at the same time.
The new automatic washing system utilizes multiple dose detergent capsules that are managed autonomously, eliminating problems of transportation errors in dosage or contact with harmful substances.
An Eye to Design
Naboo is also e design innovation.
While it was being studied, by emphasizing the lines and aesthetics of the product, Lainox wanted to underline the design qualities for which Italy is famous throughout the world. A large amount of work and research was done on the handles, that in some models, will be replaced with an automatic push-button opening which is very useful when both hands are occupied. The materials used were chosen for their elegance, quality, robustness and because they are easy to clean.
Thanks to a study in visual design, the user interface is more intuitive and easy to use. Great attention has also been paid to ergonomics to make the products easy to fit into every type of space and to make work flow easy and pleasant.

A year after the creation of Naboo, it has many users who are inspired by the hundreds of national and international recipes afloat in the Lainox Cloud.
Our goal was to create a tool for cooking and to fill it with content that was constantly being updating and constantly evolving: Naboo represents the perfect synchronicity of the knowledge of dozens of national and international expert chefs and Lainox technology.
Each user has access not only to a cooking program, but also to all the information needed to properly prepare a given recipe: from its history, to its ingredients, to its procedures for preparation, and finally to its presentation; and, in addition, for more complex procedures for preparation, we have put at your disposal tutorial videos that can be accessed directly from Naboo.
Having become strong from the extraordinary success of these innovative services, we have continued to further exploit Cloud technology to provide Naboo users with a series of new opportunities that are completely free: the treasure chest, the cook's portal, synchronization and remote service.
Treasure Chest on the Cloud
We thought about all of the chefs who, for professional reasons, must move from one kitchen to another, bringing along with them all of their recipes and personal notes… With the Treasure Chest, this will no longer be necessary because all they will need is access to a second Naboo where they may log on, and all of their personal content will become accessible right away.
Each user will have a free space on the Lainox Cloud where they may store all of their recipes and have a copy of their own Naboo settings.
The Cook's Portal
Each Naboo user will have at his disposal a portal where he may— in a very simple way—create, modify, and refer to the recipes present in his own Naboo, also accessible from a tablet or smart phone. It will be as if he always has his Naboo with him.
Thanks to the cook's portal, chefs can check on what is happening at their Naboos whenever they want and can activate them when they are not present, even at night, while remotely monitoring their functionality. Even downloading all data relative to HACCP may be done directly via the portal without, therefore, the need to necessarily be in front of the oven.
The idea to present this innovative service came about during Lainox's thirtieth year as a restaurant chain.
For its genre of clientele, a "must" of fundamental importance is standardization: to produce the same dish with the same qualitative standards, whether in Milan, London or New York… This was the greatest challenge that the managers of these chains found themselves facing, above all, every time they needed to introduce new dishes or new menus.
The free synchronization service that Lainox puts at their disposal allows them to do all of this with a simple click from the comfort of their own office: a new recipe can be sent to all the restaurants connected directly by their Naboos. In addition, the recipe can be supplied with all of the information needed to carry it out: ingredients, preparation, automatic cooking program and description, and there will also be capability to attach a tutorial video for staff training.
The managers of a restaurant chain will now no longer need to move from one restaurant to another in a frenzied manner, but will instead be able to focus solely on quality control.
Remote Service
We asked ourselves: Why not take advantage of Cloud technology with regard to service as well?
For those in the restaurant business, getting an immediate response when it comes to technical service during business hours is of fundamental importance.
Starting tomorrow, in emergencies Naboo users will be able to easily call up their own remote service that, from a tablet, a PC, or a smart phone, can connect to the Naboo and provide an immediate response if it is a question regarding software, or mediation will be carried out with the correct replacement part if it is a hardware issue.
A concrete demonstration of the growing environment-friendly commitment of the Veneto-based company
Lainox has obtained the Environmental Certification according to ISO 14001, an international standard certifying the voluntary setting up of environmental management systems.
During the last years the interest in environmental protection has grown up significantly and the issue of sustainability has animated public debate, involving consumers, enterprises, institutions and other stakeholders. Lainox, leading manufacturer of professional ovens, has always been attentive to the environment as evidenced by its latest creation, Heart Green combi steamer: easy to use with perfect cooking result and with full respect for the environment
Lainox demonstrates its ongoing and active commitment in contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions, reducing energy consumption and recycling as much as possible materials, defining a corporate policy of commitment, sustained over time.
In the context of actual economic environment energy savings can play a key role in promoting economic growth, also considering from the point of view of effectiveness in terms of costs and benefits.
According to this, the ISO 14001 certification obtained, in addition to ensuring the protection of the environment, will allow Lainox and its customers a sensitive reduction of operating costs.
For a company involved in Food Service Equipment, the Service Department is the fundamental building block to offer excellent customer service from the technical point of view and complete support in managing the customer's various needs.
We asked Giuliano Scarpa Service Director at Lainox how these levels can be reached and what are the goals.
Who is Giuliano Scarpa?
I was born in Venice in 1964 and I live in Mestre with my wife and daughter. My first job was in the computer industry, where I worked for over a decade. In 2000 I accepted a challenge by complete changing fields and becoming involved in food service equipment. The company had recently opened its Italian branch and in almost fifteen years I managed to developed a well-trained and long-established assistance network. In 2014 I took on a new challenge, deciding to embark on this new adventure
What made you accept Lainox?
I always viewed LAINOX as demonstrating Italian excellence in the industry so when the project and product were presented to me, I discovered its technological level and, finding the solutions that I felt were necessary for the future, the choice was easy. The desire to take on new challenges and the opportunity to transfer my experience in an Italian company convinced me to take the opportunity that was offered.
What should the ideal service department in a company that works with Food Service Equipment be like?
In my opinion, it should aim to offer complete service to the customer, offering complete support that is not limited only to the technical aspect.
To ensure customer satisfaction we must understand and be knowledgeable of their needs. Our clients include restaurant owners, cooking centre supervisors and those who are responsible for equipment for a chain as well as dealers and help centres.
Service should take care of their various needs, offering added value solutions in order to improve the use experience for the final customer and make loyal technical/commercial partners.
What are your short and medium term goals?
We are working on two fronts. Internally we want to increase collaboration and information exchange between the other departments in order to share information, creating continuous product improvement. We have weekly quality meetings to discuss what is happening in the market and share solutions introduced in production. Externally we are preparing new agreements to be proposed to all our partners in order to define standards of service and lay out a path for growth. We are also working to renew and standardise training and find more opportunities to be close to our partners with the objective being to improve their skills, understand their needs and guide their growth.
Today Service is not only simply post-sales service but it often becomes crucial in product choice and greatly impacts sales. How do you intend to set Lainox's service apart from its competitors in the market?
The ultimate objective is to develop innovative services and offers. With the tools available today, we can already offer active control of the customer's units, but not all of our partners are capable of taking advantage of this potential. With future developments and adequate training, we continue to offer our customers a system that is able to monitor and proactively signal any abnormal situations in order to allow them to organise interventions before the customer calls.

For its launch at Host, we had no doubts about the Naboo technology being well-received by food and catering professionals.

For those visiting Host, it will be impossible not to succumb to the allure of the Naboo Challenge.
This year, Lainox has decided to take on a huge responsibility, demonstrating all the limitations and downfalls of a traditional kitchen. Through a mix of multimedia contents and live demonstrations, Lainox will allow visitors to experience firsthand how this kitchen can evolve into the kitchen of the future, which is already here.
This concept, which goes by the name of Just Duet, is based on the use of two technologies developed by Lainox. One is the already famous and affirmed Naboo, a cooking appliance connected to the Lainox Cloud through a Wi-Fi system, allowing the simple and automatic execution of cooking processes normally performed in a traditional kitchen. The other is Neo, the new multipurpose appliance by Lainox that allows blast chilling, proofing, low temperature cooking, holding and thawing of food, as well as the possibility to be used as a genuine "holding cabinet" during service.
Just Duet, the new application concept by Lainox, consists in creating perfect synchronisation between Naboo and Neo, just like an orchestra composer in a musical duet.
This synchronisation brings to life complete menus for canteens, self-service, quick service and à la carte restaurants, using only these two appliances.
It's therefore not hard to understand how in any restaurant and catering business, a system like this would have a considerable impact on the reduction of management costs.
But we don't just want to talk about it, so to demonstrate how strongly we believe in this new kitchen project, on occasion of Host we've organised the Naboo Challenge.
The Just Duet system and our chefs will be put to the test. Every hour, visitors at our stand will randomly extract "the challenge", which will consist in developing either a banquet or à la carte service, or alternatively transforming into a quick service restaurant, all for 50 to 60 guests.
Winning the challenge will mean serving guests in less than 15 minutes using Just Duet, a 2 square metre kitchen.
All readers interested in putting our chefs to the test are kindly requested to make a booking by writing to email@example.com. We look forward to meeting you in Hall 11P stand G28 H27.
Everyone would like to open a restaurant but experience from home or dinners with friends is not enough....
Often vendors in the industry advise those who do not have a lot of experience and open an activity to purchase entry level products that are more similar to household appliances rather than professional one, recommending the most advanced technology, on the other hand, to established professionals in the industry. An established professional will surely benefit from its advantages. With my years of experience in the food service industry, I am convinced that the use of technology is also important to beginners.
In fact, there is a truly surprising correlation between successful new businesses and the type of technology they use in the kitchen.
In the sample group I examined, a high percentage of businesses that were successful chose premium kitchen technology. In the meantime, the majority of the businesses that were not successful chose budget equipment.
Often, in order to minimise the risk of failure, new business owners rely on costly consultants for restaurant startups, ranging from designing the menu to choosing the ingredients and training the staff.
A few months ago I was able to meet a virtual consultant: Naboo.
Naboo lets new restaurant owners surf through hundreds of gastronomic ideas inside the Cloud in order to design their menus. In this case, the use of technology in the kitchen, and especially the innovative Naboo, lets new restaurant owners choose between hundreds and hundreds of gastronomic ideas inside the Cloud, helping them create their own menu. It is almost like having a virtual chef at their side, guiding them through each step, from choosing the ingredients, to the preparation, plate presentation and suggesting how to prepare it in their menus, giving the history of the dish, the calories and other appetising information for the customer.
Up to this point we have discussed Naboo's "soft skills" or the knowledge that it can transfer through the Lainox Cloud.
But we must not forget that Naboo is also the most advanced multifunction oven on the market.
In fact it lets anyone who is setting up a new kitchen save on an initial equipment investment due to this multi-functionality, which makes it able to replace traditional equipment such as: grilles, wood grilles, pans, fryers, braziers, boilers, salamanders, etc.
Both the total kitchen investment and the space needed are significantly reduced.
Let's imagine ourselves as restaurant owners....
Opening day has finally arrived when we must start up our kitchen. With less machinery to turn on and monitor, we have less labour cost and a lower energy cost compared to a traditional kitchen.
Now it is time for the big challenge. After opening our restaurant we must convince our customers to come back.
So I ask you, why do you decide to go back to a restaurant?
My surveys have shown that there are two reasons customers decide to go back to the same restaurant depending upon the type of customer:
Conservative Customer: he goes back to eat the same dish he ate the last time and the restaurant owner must not disappoint him so the dish must always be the same each time.
Innovative Customer: the goes back to eat in the same restaurant if the owner is always able to surprise him with new proposals and dishes.
So a successful restaurant's menu must have a certain balance between so-called "mainstays" or "cash cows" and new, seasonal and creative "star" dishes.
I imagine that right now you are asking yourselves: "how can Naboo help me with all this?" The answer is very simple. In fact, with its ICS (Interacting Cooking System) technology, Naboo lets you ensure constant quality and so the new restaurant owner can serve his cash cow dishes with always the same quality by using the Cloud system.
Periodically Naboo proposes new dishes, new seasonal and ethnic recipes in order to surprise those innovative customers and create true stars on your menu.
Now, after the results from this survey that were described above, we invite anyone who wishes to open a new food service activity or who influences this decision process to make a knowledgeable decision.

With the arrival of summer, kitchens in the Lainox research and development department have been working double time to test and create new recipes to inspire Naboo users.
In fact, starting tomorrow, it will be child's play for the many chefs who own a Naboo to download summer recipes by Michele Cocchi and Alberto Marzocchi: "Cold rice salad with baby vegetables and smoked rump" or to be captivated by the many offerings from international chefs: "Singapore Chili Crabs" for those who love exotic flavours.
It's easy to do. After completing a few simple steps to register, Naboo will be connected to the Cloud. Then the recipe can be chosen and downloaded to the Naboo.
The recipe will have all the information needed: ingredients, instructions, photos of the preparation and, naturally, how to cook it in the automatic cooking program.
All this will let chefs create the dish themselves. If they have any questions, they can call the toll-free number: 800 302 750 for the Lainox chefs.
The Cloud will also let the Naboo be updated automatically without the need for a USB drive or costly service calls.
Only with Naboo you can be truly connected!

Welcome to the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (NCBVI), the state vocational rehabilitation agency for the blind. We work to help blind and visually impaired Nebraskans achieve full and rewarding lives through independent living skills and assisting with finding employment in Nebraska and across the country.
NCBVI provides the training, counseling, and resources needed for a positive understanding of blindness and visual impairment. Our high expectations include employment and fulfillment in all aspects of life. Our website provides information about the Commission and also about blindness in general: for blind and visually impaired individuals, their families, businesses seeking job candidates to fulfill Nebraska employment needs.
Message from the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired Board of Commissioners:
We, blind consumers, worked to establish a separate agency for the blind in Nebraska; and only we can assure that it continues. It is, therefore, crucial that consumers participate in Board meetings and give both Commissioners and the Executive Director ideas and feedback. Interested people being involved will keep Nebraska's service system vibrant.

- The song is posted on Perez's website. Sample lyrics: "I am stuck, stuck, stuck/I can try to run but I am out of luck, luck, luck/it doesn't matter where I go, I feel stuck." [Perez, All Headline News]
- Michael Lohan claims he's trying to get Lindsay Lohan help because she's addicted to prescription drugs. He says, "No one can help Lindsay like I can. Everyone is coming out now saying they care. Why didn't they care when I went to the narcotics station, the cops, the judges? They didn't take me seriously. I'm trying to find out who is giving her the prescriptions." [X17]
- Though it was reported that Kim Kardashian broke up with Reggie Bush because he was cheating on her, a source claims they split because, "Reggie's mom just could not get over the fact that Kim had a sex tape. Reggie and his family are very conservative, and he told Kim that a marriage is never going to happen between them because of the tape." [X17]
- Another source says Kim Kardashian is ignoring Reggie Bush's calls and texts, but "He wants her back. He's not happy without her." [Radar]
- Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush haven't been speaking according to this insider, "But that will change once she gets back to L.A. ... They have a dog together and stuff at each other's homes. It's not like they're enemies. They will work on their friendship, but it will happen very very slowly." [E!]
- A sex tape featuring Celebrity Rehab's Mindy McCready will be released soon.

- Sources claim Sandra Bullock has already started divorce proceedings against Jesse James. "Sandra has returned home to face the problem head-on. She isn't the sort of woman to bury her head in the sand and hope everything will go away," said a source. "As painful as this is going to be, expect Sandra to cut out the cancer very soon." [Popeater]
- When Tiger Woods returns to golf at the Masters Tournament next week, former mistress Joslyn James will be dancing at a strip club down the street. [Radar]
- Luke Wilson is reportedly acting like a diva on the set of AT&T commercials, refusing to film scenes with other actors, rejecting certain lines, and talking back to the director.

Well, Fall officially started today! And I am STOKED! I love Fall. The crisp morning air, the leaves beginning their slow change, pumpkins and mums adorning front porches! It.is.AWESOME!
Earlier this week, I started decorating the front of our house for Fall. This is our first fall here, so I was just feeling out where I wanted things to go.
This was a Pinterest project. I have a metal pumpkin in the attic that I was going to use, but I couldn't bear to paint it. This one was $15 at garden ridge, and was a little sad looking by itself. So I added the dots and the name. :) Note: Corrugated metal is NOT your friend on such projects! That is why the name is a little screwy! Oh well! I might paint it orange and begin again next year! ;)
Using my canvas again this year. Not gonna lie, I am thinking about adding the big white polkadots to the outside purple border. Thoughts? If you can't tell, I am loving polkadots right now! :)

Lorenzo Alcazar was a fictional character on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. He was portrayed by actor Ted King from 2003-07.
After previously playing the role of Luis Alcazar in 2002, King originated the role of brother Lorenzo in June 2003. In 2005, King won Favorite Villain in the 19th annual Soap Opera Digest Awards.[1]
In 2007, King chose not to renew his contract and left the series. In an interview with Carolyn Hinsey, Ted King stated his frustration with the direction of Lorenzo Alcazar on the show, stating "Sonny didn't kill his brother [Luis] or his son [Diego] or his niece [Sage]. He's lost three people, and Sonny didn't kill any of them. Yet he's always angry at Sonny. It doesn't make any sense to me."[2] However, he also expressed he would miss the show, explaining to Soap Opera Digest, "Absolutely! The great thing about what I've been able to do with this character in the last four and a half years, particularly with Lorenzo, was that he's been very three-dimensional."[3]
Ted King later moved on to play Tomás Delgado on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live from January 2011 until OLTL's cancellation in January 2012. There was some on-screen speculation if Lorenzo Alcazar and Tomas Delgado might be the same person (for example Lorenzo pretending to be Tomas) in late 2012 on GH, however this storyline is unresolved due to Blair and Tea (original OLTL characters) and Skye (has appeared on all three shows, but mainly GH) have gone in search of him. This will not be proven either way due to Prospect Park's OLTL reboot.
Lorenzo Alcazar was an international arms dealer, an intelligent and powerful man with ties to mob families and high-ranking government agencies that made him a formidable force in the town of Port Charles. Prior to joining the family business, arms-dealing, he was a History professor at Oxford University. Lorenzo originally entered Oxford as a student of law, until he became involved with an idealistic French woman named Sophie Germaine who wanted to save the world, and was tragically killed in a village by rebels while Lorenzo was helping his older brother Luis out after a deal went wrong. Lorenzo blamed himself for what transpired to Sophie, and abandoned his life in England to become part of the Alcazar family business.
Years later, Lorenzo came to Port Charles to avenge the death of his older brother, Luis Alcazar. Although he learned that Alexis Davis was the person responsible for his brother's death, he did not take revenge on her because she was a civilian. Rather, knowing that his brother's presence in Port Charles was due in part to resident mob boss Sonny Corinthos, he became a thorn in Sonny's side, trying to get Sonny's half-brother Ric Lansing to usurp the organization from his brother. Ric kidnapped Carly Corinthos before Courtney and Jason's wedding and held her in a panic room at his house. Lorenzo found out about it and helped Ric conceal Carly for a while. Lorenzo held her hostage himself for weeks as leverage over Sonny, whose pier he wanted to use to ship cocaine into Port Charles. While holding Carly, Lorenzo fell in love with her and began to undermine her marriage to Sonny wherever possible. Months later, Lorenzo was also in charge of raising his niece, Sage Alcazar, who came to Port Charles to avenge her father's death. She moved to Port Charles permanently, but was later murdered at the Quartermaine mansion by Mary Bishop.Lorenzo was once married to Carly Corinthos. Their romance began after she suffered a severe brain injury. This brain injury was due to a gunshot wound to the head caused by her husband Sonny Corinthos when Lorenzo Alcazar was helping her give birth to Morgan Stone Corinthos. The gunshot wound Sonny caused a rift in her relationship with Sonny Corinthos. While Carly was in a coma, Lorenzo gave her subliminal suggestions that she should love him and not Sonny. When Carly came out of her coma, she did not care about anything or anyone except Lorenzo. When Sonny saw her kissing Lorenzo, he left her. Subsequently, Sonny would take her sons away from her while she sought solace with Lorenzo, but she would return to Sonny for the sake of her children. After her divorce from Sonny, Carly later married Lorenzo. They divorced because of her obsession with Sonny, which caused her to have a mental breakdown and be committed to a resident mental hospital. He was later involved with Lois Cerullo Ashton, but this was a brief affair.
After Sage's death in 2004, Lorenzo found out that he had a son, Diego by former lover María Sánchez, who originally thought Lorenzo died protecting her from would-be assassins in a dark alley. Despite María keeping the truth from him after learning that he was alive, he offered María and Diego a home, and wanted to be a part of his son's life. María left amidst the murders of the Sandoval family by the Corinthos crime organization, where she witnessed Jason Morgan fleeing from the scene and Jason discovering that she'd seen him. During this time, Lorenzo and Skye Chandler Quartermaine became involved when Lorenzo realized that his love for Carly would never be returned. After they spent one night together, she became pregnant, something she thought would never happen since she was told that she could not have children after a horrible car accident. They saw the child as a miracle.
Lorenzo tried to sway his son from a life of crime, but Diego's upbringing left him too emotionally damaged to be dissuaded from the life his father tried to protect him from. Lorenzo had gone legit to give his family some semblance of a normal life and protect them from the dangers of mob life, but his son's troubles changed all that. Lorenzo went back to delivering weapon shipments to the U.S. government to protect his son from going back to prison, where he would have been killed by Manny's people. Having been paroled from a ten-year sentence after ratting out a member of the Ruiz crime family, Diego's life was in danger, especially with Manny Ruiz still loose and gunning for the people Lorenzo loved.
The war between Lorenzo and the Corinthos crime family began when Sonny and Jason took shipments that Lorenzo was delivering to his government handlers to secure his son's freedom, despite knowing that Lorenzo only entered into the life to keep his son safe from the Ruiz organization. Despite Lorenzo's attempts to protect his son, Diego was apparently killed in 2006 by Sam McCall in a shoot-out between Alcazar's men and Jason Morgan, who was on the run with Sam when Ric and Lorenzo hired Damian Spinelli to cybernetically frame Sam for a crime she didn't commit. The apparent death of his son left Lorenzo heart-broken and he realized how dangerous "the business" could be, determined to make sure Lila Rae would never suffer the same fate as Diego. He was determined to end his association in arms-dealing for the government and return to a life of normalcy. (Despite his on-screen death, in November 2006, it was revealed that Diego was still alive and terrorizing Port Charles as the Text Message Killer, but it's speculated that another villain, Ian, may have contributed to the loss of Diego's sanity after his near-death experience.)
After the loss of several shipments he was handling from the U.S. government, Lorenzo went to Sonny's office (with a gun in hand) to prevent him from seizing an important shipment that would allow him to be free of his deal with the government, but Carly walked in allowing Sonny enough of a distraction to pull out a gun and shoot. Lorenzo was shot in the head and lived, but he suffered temporary selective amnesia. He had a couple of surgeries to correct the problems. As a result of his brain injury, he acted uncharacteristically, faking his amnesia to gain an advantage over his enemies, Sonny (who he blamed for the death of his brother Luís) and Jason (who he blamed for the death of his son Diego). Lorenzo Alcazar was (apparently) assassinated on May 23, 2007 by Jason, who got away with the murder because of fabricated evidence produced by the Metro Court Hotel terrorist Jerry Jacks and Sonny's ex-wife Carly Jacks.
On the episode of General Hospital that aired August 9, 2007, Carly and Jerry Jacks were in Venezuela on business allegedly related to both stealing the presently-deceased Alcazar's financial assets and fabricating evidence that could help exonerate Jason Morgan of Lorenzo's murder. In a scene, with a Venezuelan banking official as well as Carly and Jerry, related to having Lorenzo's assets released, Jerry called someone that sounded identical to Lorenzo Alcazar. The person on the phone fooled the banking official and his ex-wife, Carly. Afterward, Jerry told Carly that it was not really Lorenzo on the phone, but rather it was an operative trained to impersonate others. Part of the evidence included someone who had been withdrawing money from Lorenzo's accounts. This person was revealed to be Lorenzo's son Diego, who was very much alive, in a storyline that made little sense and was ridiculed by many fans as absurd.
On August 14, 2007, it was revealed that photos of Lorenzo indicating he's still alive were, indeed, "doctored" by associates of Jerry Jacks. Notwithstanding the August 9, 2007, episode that had Carly on the phone speaking to someone that sounded exactly like Lorenzo Alcázar, Jerry has since declared the man on the phone to be an impostor and admitted to fabricating the photographic evidence presented during Jason Morgan's trial for Lorenzo's murder.
In November 2012, Skye Quartermaine and Carly get into a cat fight at Kelly's and afterwards Skye is afraid about her IPad. The screen shows the news of Blair Cramer and Tomás Delgado's wedding in Llanview. Carly has heard about Tomás, but never seen him. Skye and Carly are stunned when they focus on the picture and see that Tomás looks very similar to Lorenzo. They go to Blair's ex-husband Todd Manning, who recently moved from Llanview to Port Charles, and question him about the man that he knows as Tomás.
Todd calls to get his plane ready and Carly, Skye, and him go on a road trip to Llanview, PA. They arrive at Tea Delgado's house and Todd can't wait to break the news and says that they are hear to "crash" the wedding. Blair and Tea confidently deny that Tomás could be Lorenzo, while Carly and Skye tells them that they should go directly to the source of the problem. Skye and Blair begin a cat fight and Todd commenting how it's better than pay-per-view.
Later, Tea received a knock on the door and a CIA agent is there. The agent tells Tea and others that Tomas has been called and assigned back to active duty. The group can not talk or communicate with Tomas and the agent can not discuss any further details about the situation. Blair says that Dorian Lord is a powerful senator and the agent should talk. The agent says that he can not and says that if they have connections or want to pursue this further, they should connect with his superiors.
Blair and Tea haven't been seen since their November 2012 appearances and will most likely not re-appear due to the new reboot - Prospect Park's OLTL. Skye hasn't been seen since Nov 2012 either, but is said to be looking for Tomas/Lorenzo with Blair and Tea.
On April 28, 2017, Tracy Quartermaine had a dream where she had died and was on trial. Her attorney, Scott Baldwin, claimed that Lorenzo had been reincarnated as Leo Falconeri.

Wow, we've all become over-exposed to the hype around augmented reality, but we're starting to see applications emerging which genuinely seem to add value and utility, rather than just make you go "cool!"
We spotted this simple, still slightly rough-looking, but potentially amazing app for the iPhone, which works off the phone's video function. Currently only available for the London Underground, and for those lucky enough to have a 3GS, but follow-up apps across broader geographies and platforms can't be far behind.
When you load the app, holding it flat, all 13 lines of the London underground are displayed in coloured arrows. By tilting the phone upwards, you will see the nearest stations: what direction they are in relation to your location, how many kilometres and miles away they are and what tube lines they are on. If you continue to tilt the phone upwards, you will see stations further away, as stacked icons.
Geo applications and brand experience-based applications seem to be emerging as two of the most interesting playgrounds for AR – we've certainly started putting our heads together on a couple of the brands we work with. Watch this space.
(For some existing BBH work that uses AR, see BBH Asia-Pacific's work for WWF).
Thanks to Tim Bradshaw (@Tim) for bringing this to our attention this morning.

I have read many varying descriptions on the web UK citizen if that is any use . Thanks . Back to top TEFLXpatJoined: 27 Sep 2012Posts: 8Location: Prague Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2012 10:22 am Post subject: Zivno costs (for EU Citizens) Hi Moto, It looks like all you'll be needing is a Zivnostensky list (since the long term residence visa that usually accomplanies it isn't necessary for you). Here is an outline for the costs of this. The main costs associated include: Application - 1,000 CZK Zivno Assistance (you'll need a Czech speaker to go to the various offices for you to get you registered) - this should cost you no more than 6,500 CZK Health Insurance - 5,300 CZK or less for half a year Since you're an EU citizen, you're avoiding the major expenses that are associated with obtaining the long term visa. Hope this helps!

My Czech isn't great, but I went to the office and sorted it out myself without the help of a translator/interpreter. It wasn't easy and they weren't friendly, but it was free. Even if you did enlist the help of an agency, I think you can do it for much less than 6,500 CZK.

When I send unicode text from either the Search or Browse windows into Microsoft Word, it causes the Word document to not print. Rather it prints an error message. This is odd since the text looks perfectly fine when viewed in MS word and I have the unicode fonts installed on the computer.
When I disable unicode export in the BW options menu, and then copy to MS word, the document prints fine. Any suggestions?

Crostini with Västerbotten cheese
Another little recipe using the wonderful Swedish Västerbotten cheese. The recipe is Swedish as well, from a relatively new food magazine Lantliv Mat & Vin that K. brings me back from Sweden every now and then. You should use whitefish roe or löjrom ideally. Unfortunately it's difficult to track down in Estonia, so I had to settle for dyed herring roe instead.
Crostini with Västerbotten cheese cream and whitefish roe
(Krõbesaiad Västerbotteni juustukreemi ja siiamarjaga)
Source: Lantliv Mat & Vin 4/2010
Makes 12
12 thin slices of baguette
1 Tbsp butter
100 cream
100 ml grated Västerbotten cheese
100 g fish roe (preferably whitefish roe or löjrom)
freshly ground black pepper
fresh chives
Heat the butter on a frying pan, fry baguette slices lightly on both sides until golden. Cool.
Mix grated Västerbotten and cream cheese, spread on toasted bread slices.
Spoon the caviar on top, grind some black pepper over the cheese and garnish with chopped chives.

America, American flag, bill of rights, Civil Rights, cricketdiane, Declaration of Independence, Fourth of July, fourth of july 2016, Freedom, freedoms, god bless america, Human Rights, Independence Day, national anthem, patriotic, Patriotism, pledge of allegiance, rights, US Constitution, USA, what fourth of july means
Is it the barbecues, picnics, going to the lake, family holidays and fireworks? Well, not really. Is Fourth of July a note to the freedoms we enjoy everyday? Sort of. But really, what does it signify anymore? Is it a time to sell more hotdogs in ads that show us grilling out in our backyard, or simply an excuse to buy three cases of beer for the weekend? What is Fourth of July anymore anyway?
A few days ago, my granddaughter who is six stopped in the living room as the ballgame crowd was singing, God Bless America with hands over their hearts and scenes of the American flag blowing in the breeze over the ballpark. She stood proudly, put her hand over her heart and started singing with them, God Bless America in our living room. And a good friend over for a while sitting to watch the ballgame made a comment of embarrassment that would have shamed her for doing it. And I said, "well sometimes, something has to be important." That's true. It can't be that we are all to sophisticated to join and support respect for our country and what it stands for.
And for days now, that scene rolls about in my mind, of my granddaughter innocently and grandly showing her patriotism in the safety of her own space joining with others on the tele box at the ballgame doing the same thing. And, more and more, I've thought about those few minutes of our friend's reaction being so out of place and bizarre in a sense, and yet, understandable in a time when overt shows of pride in our nation are not for the modern and sophisticated every day person (unless at the ballgame in person or at some public rally specific to it.)
And, I've thought about the freedoms to do what we would choose in our own homes, how it is very bizarre for it to be socially unacceptable to stand and sing the National Anthem or America the Beautiful, to join in saying the Pledge of Allegiance, to salute for a parade of soldiers on the tele (even in person at the parade), or to put hand over heart and stand when appropriate to the event we are watching on the TV singing with the National Anthem as the crowd does. How bizarre a lack of freedom that is, in the very country where those freedoms have been fought for, paid for, died for, won for and firmly established. Really, that is strange.
As I think about it, I'm reminded of a recent conversation with one of my daughters in their late 20's who told me when I was designing tshirts for the Fourth of July and things with the American flag on them, that it has been unpopular and not trendy to wear a shirt with the American flag on it for the Fourth of July. And, yesterday she explained that most people don't want to wear or carry things in red, white and blue for the Independence Day events, whether it is a headband, party sunglasses, hats or a stick with streamers on it.
I'm not sure if this is true because around the Fourth of July weekend there is lots of those things sold, but maybe it is unpopular or has been recently unpopular for people to embrace those things to use for celebrating the Fourth as an expression of their love for America. Maybe it is okay to have red, white and blue balloons attached to the mailbox to show their barbecue is happening in the backyard for the Fourth of July, but not to wear a shirt that shows those colors or an American flag or says USA. That is bizarre too.
It's as if we've all taken on that contempt found in TV shows' character dialogs and one-liners that belittles and shames all things expressing our belief in something important and of expressing any feeling of caring about something.important. So is it easier to not engage the moment and express those feelings of oneness with our nation, our pride of place and honor for those who've fought to defend it, than to risk being vilified and demeaned even in our own homes for doing it? Really? To be called crazy for standing up and singing the National Anthem or God Bless America even in our own homes – in the privacy of our own homes? Is that what it is to live in this great nation of ours, that even in our own homes, we don't actually enjoy THAT freedom?
NO. Sometimes, some things have to be important – fashionable or not. It is, in my estimation, not trendy, not fashionable AND it is not sane to belittle anyone as they do on TV shows, sitcoms and even the kid's shows. It isn't funny, no one is laughing at it anymore – not for many years now, and despite the popularity of re-running things to hell and back, those dialogs are not the real dialogs between real people in real lives, nor would we ever want them to be. Their ideas of my patriotism and expressions of it cannot be what works in my house nor the definition of what goes in my house and what my choices are for my house. And, it shouldn't be either, that social conventions described by popular TV sitcoms, reality shows and animated adult humor shows choose our expressions of or reactions to patriotic feelings being expressed, or any damn thing else for that matter.
What Fourth of July means to me is that we all stop for a moment and say together in one voice that it matters, that what has been fought for, defended, protected, lives lost for, tremendous efforts made for and hard won to be a nation of freedom and full human rights honored and protected for everyone – matters. And, that we all agree despite everything on which we disagree – that the United States of America is more than a legacy, that it is ours and together we promise to protect what she stands for , to further what she offers to all, to strengthen and keep her safe from those who would destroy her, and to continue her grand ideals of freedoms and inalienable human rights, opportunities to thrive and equality today and in the future.
And, Fourth of July means that we will honor those efforts made that came before we were ever part of this great nation, to hold her dear, value her ideals, cherish her strengths and make her stronger still.
And frankly, I don't care what tshirt anyone wears and whether it has an American flag on it or not for the Fourth of July holiday events. I am proud to say that my America lets you wear what you damn well please and I'm an American who supports your freedom and rights to do so. That is what matters.
- cricketdiane, 07-01-2016
I pledge allegiance, to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for ALL. – means we agree on some things being important, despite the many things on which we disagree. It is our duty, our responsibility AND our honor to uphold these Truths noted in the beginning of our Declaration of Independence and structured to be protected by our US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Some things simply do have to be important. And sometimes, we really do have to show that it matters. Happy Fourth of July!
